This demo runs a Ewe program under your web browser’s Java virtual machine as a normal Java Applet. If everything goes well a new Java Applet window will appear.

 

This version will restrict the application pop-up frames to being initially sized to 240 x 320 so you can see how the program would run on a PocketPC such as the Compaq iPaq series. There are two other versions:

 

Make sure you close the current applet before starting the new ones.

 

ü      An unrestricted frame-size version that shows how the application would run on a Desktop PC.

ü      A HandHeld PC frame-size version that shows how the application would run on a Hand-held sized device.

Browser Requirements

This demo will work with a browser that has a Java VM that is at least Java 1.1 compliant. This includes Internet Explorer and Netscape but please note the following:

 

  1. Under IE you must have a fairly recent Java VM installed. If the Demo fails to run then download the latest Java VM from Microsoft.
  2. Netscape 6.1, which uses Sun’s Java 1.3, runs the applet much better. In fact, Netscape 6.1 is able to run the 1.2 compliant version, which runs more like the true native Ewe VM.
  3. There are problems when running under Netscape 4 although the Demo should load and run, for some reason it runs very slowly. This is how it works on my system – using a 4.0 version of Netscape.

Notes

The Demo runs almost exactly as the native VM – but because it uses only Java 1.1 classes there are a few small differences. The only noticeable difference in the demo is that pens and brushes are not supported, so all lines are single pixel width only. If you would like to view a Java 1.2 version you can instead load http://www.ewesoft.com/Demos/eweDemo12.htm. In order for this to run you will need Netscape 6.1 or you can use Sun’s Appletviewer.
